Hello friends! I’m sharing a quick Scrap Yarn Beanie Pattern today that is easy to make and uses up all those odd balls of yarn you have left over. It turns out super cute and comfy!
You can personalize this to be any color combo that you need. This scrap yarn beanie is based off of my granny stitch beanie pattern, but here I used odd balls of yarn with intentional color changes
I always get asked if I made this hat when I wear it 🙂
Materials Used:
Some scrap yarn balls- I’ve used a mix of Caron soft, Vanna’s Choice, and honestly, I’m not sure what the white yarn was! But you’ll want to choose yarns that are worsted weight or 4 numbers. I grabbed 4 to 5 colors of yarn for this Scrap Yarn Beanie Pattern.
You’ll also need a size H crochet hook. I love using these ergonomic ones, so much comfortable to crochet with!
scrap yarn beanie Tutorial
Stitches you will need to know: If you are a new crocheter, you will need to know how to make a slip knot, how to start your crochet chain and how to double crochet.
The pattern starts with the granny stitch beanie pattern, but I’ve modified it to be a tiny bit larger. That way the hat does not stretch too much and the holes between the clusters remain smaller. This hat is a tad loose for me- not snug fitting at all- and I wear it on warmer days here in Minnesota.
Start at the center and work in rounds gradually increasing the size of the beanie. This is a great way to make a hat as you can place the work in progress on top of you head as you make it and see if it fits properly. If it seems too big, skip a round. If it feels too snug, repeat a round an extra time to enlarge the hat. This is one of the reasons why I always love crocheting hats!
I like the texture the white/cream yarn brings to this hat. But you totally can skip that and use regular yarn. Also if you look closely below, the sand color clusters are slightly smaller than the darker brown and green ones- because that’s the Caron soft yarn that is smoother and delicate. BUT the hat still works fine- so I encourage you to mix and match and use up all the yarn scraps. Simply join a new yarn at the beginning of each round, trim and tuck the excess yarn neatly as you go.
Also if you look closely below, you will see that the first row of the white/cream near the top of the hat- actually has two different colors of yarn. It is a very forgiving design 😉
I told you, this is a great project for scrap yarn! Use similar yarns together on a row and nobody is going to even know!
